We also lead the world in breast cancer incidence, and have one of the highest rates of prostate cancer in the world as well.

As a matter of fact, next to skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men.

Are soybeans entirely to blame?

I doubt it, but I can assure you, they're playing their part.

Plant based estrogen's are a nasty thing indeed!

Soy Dangers! Estrogen, Men, & Sexual Side Effects!

Still not convinced?

Here are a few more facts for you to chew on...

The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill conducted a study on high dose soy consumption in men.
During the trial the subjects experienced nipple discharge, breast enlargement and decreased testosterone levels.

Dr Jorge Chavarro, from the Harvard School of Public
Health in Boston, found that men with the highest soya intake produced
much less sperm. On average their counts were 41 million/ml lower than
those of men who did not consume soya products at all.

Studies have shown that Asian men who consume high levels of soy have smaller testicles when compared to non Asain men, who consume very little.

The Journal of Andrology and Urology released a study
that found that with male rats, intake of soy proteins can lead to less
testosterone production, and biochemical changes to their penile tissue
and erectile dysfunction.

In 1913, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) handbook listed soya not as a food, but as an industrial product.

Up until very recent times, isolated soy protein was
considered a waste product. Brilliant marketing, combined with food
production technology has changed this perception. The addition of
preservatives, sweeteners, emulsifiers and synthetic nutrients has
transformed this non-food, into a major player in the American diet.

Soy contains goitrogens substances that depresses
thyroid function, which leads to reduced anabolic hormone production in
men of all ages.

The extremely high phytate content of soy inhibits the
absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc from foods. Nutrients
that are absolutely critical for optimal male hormone production and
testicle function.

In 1992, the Swiss health service estimated that 100 grams of soy protein provided the estrogen equivalent of one birth control Pill.

A study published in January 2000, found that mothers
who ate a vegetarian diet, high in soy phytoestrogens during pregnancy,
had a fivefold greater risk of delivering a boy with hypospadias, a
birth defect of the penis.
